You think I'm obsessed?

This guy says I'm obsessed with Netflix. It doesn't hurt my feelings. I can see how you might get that impression. However, I am not obsessed. In between blogging about Netflix and watching DVDs from Netflix and getting all my friends to sign up for Netflix, I do other things.

Like, for instance, I take my dog to the park. I have dinner with friends. I celebrate birthdays and holidays with family and friends. I went camping this month.

I have plans for the future. I will go to the lake in July, for the fireworks. I will go to the Grand Canyon in August. I am going to buy a house.

In my spare time, I read books, other than 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. For example, I'm reading another book, called American Silent Film.

Do you still think I'm obsessed?

  1. I recommend Kenneth Turan's book, Never Coming To A Theatre Near You: A Celebration Of A Certain Kind Of Movie

  2. Am I missing something? I checked out that guy's site and saw only 2 posts about Netflix:

    1. On the Virtues of Hating Blockbuster
    2. Yeah, yeah, I'm still here

    I've been accused of the same, "Manuel needs to get laid or get a life, one or the other. Someone who obsesses over Netflix as much as he does has WAY too much time on his hands." Comments like this avoid the issue. It seems whenever I bring up issues concerning Netflix I'm pelted with comments such as this. Yet, comments like this fill me with the urge to write more about Netflix and so the vicious cycle perpetuates.

  3. In one of those posts, he links to my blog using the word "obsessed".

    The greatest accomplishments in human history were made by people who were "obsessed".
